Christmas Music

I own about one hundred Christmas CD’s (partly from my years in radio).  So I know a thing or two about Christmas music.  Of the 100 or so, there would probably be only five that would be perfect, ten out of ten, and two of the five would belong to Mannheim Steamroller.  This is Chip Davis’ first of many Mannheim Christmas projects.  He can put his kids through college with this project alone.  Frankly put, there is no bad cut on this project.  Every Christmas library must have this CD or it simply is not complete.  It has great variations of modern and classic carols.  Even though some songs are a bit dated (synthesizers from the eighties), the numerous Grammys still attest to its longevity.  Even though it was originally recorded in 1984 most people know a cut off this project.
